Re cane and upholstered Victorian chair.

The caned back of this Victorian chair had been damaged. It has been completely recaned in the original style. The sprung seat has been reupholstered in a fabric of my choosing. The finished chair is neat, well finished and comfortable to sit in. This is the third item (2 of my own chairs and a large sofa that belongs to a friend) that I have had reupholstered here over several years. The work has always been done to a high standard and all the chairs are still in constant use . The work was completed in the time frame given and the cost was as the original quote. The team were friendly and happy to advise re the choose of fabric.

Chair given new lease of life

Our large wooden chair needed new foam inserts for seat, back and armrests. Dee Cee Upholstery took the job on and were helpful and pleasant. We were told it would take 2 weeks, which it did. The foam in the seat turned out to be too high for the armrests. This was dealt with straightforwardly and promptly. We are pleased with the result.

Dee Cee upholstery are a pleasure to deal with, providing a very high standard of craftmanship and excellent value. Our much loved 1950s utility mark sofa and Parker Knoll chair are look fantastic and looking once again good as new. They are greatly superior to anything new we could buy new at equivalent cost. Our family have been using Dee Cee for more than 25 years. Long may their amazing service and craftsmanship continue.

Second fireside chair

Derek re-upholstered a fireside chair for us two years ago in a check pattern fabric. We had another fireside chair that we wanted to match so Derek took photos to ensure the pattern looked the same. Derek picked up the chair last week and delivered it back today. The workmanship is superb and we couldn't be happier with the result. We would recommend DeeCee wholeheartedly.

Recently dropped in a couple of back cushions from my sofa as the padding had gone! Within 2 days I had the cushions back stronger than ever & looking like new. Price was cheaper than buying the cheap standard filling. Will definitely use again.

The 2 x back cushion interiors were saved from going to landfill , instead of replacing them we added extra polyester fiberfill which was a very cost effective option Thank you for your business

I wanted a rocking chair reupholstered, plus replacement of the seat cushion, and repair of the woodwork. Following phone contact, Derek made a home visit to assess and give quote. He brought his portfolio of qualifications and accolades as a Master Upholsterer. The job was completed before the new carpet was laid, but Dee Cee were happy to keep the chair until I was ready. The newly reupholstered chair was delivered this morning. It is beautiful. It is more than I had hoped for. Thank you for excellent service.

The rocking chair was about 60 years old and was completely stripped down to the frame and re-upholstered in a Beige Chenille fabric and new cushion interior, which left our customer sitting comfortably.
Reupholstered fireside chair and loose drop-in seats

My much-used small fireside chair had a split in the fabric and had become saggy. Derek advised on how much new fabric I would require and what Martindale rating would be suitable. He has reupholstered and recovered it so it is now much more supportive. There was sufficient fabric left over to recover three loose drop-in chair seats, which are all matched with the pattern of the fabric. All the work was carried out to budget and I was kept fully informed. I am very pleased with the results.

The fire side chair and 3 drop in loose seat were about 65 years old. And in need of complete re-upholstery, not just recovery. They were stripped out to the bare frame and recovered in our customers own material. We added extra padding to the original seat spring cushion interior.

I have three very old barley-sugar leg dining chairs, all of which had their original leather seats, but the leather was crazed and torn, and then one of the seats got broken. I took it over to Derek to ask if he could do anything. He has repaired the broken seat and re-covered all three seats with a lovely coloured leather he had in stock, and in addition is very kindly reglueing the back of one of the chairs for no additional cost. The work did not take long and the chairs look beautiful and are very comfortable. I highly recommend this firm.

The three dining chairs with barley twist legs were made of oak and produced in the 1960’s. The seats were stripped out to the base frames and re-upholstered in a good quality blue leather. As a good will gesture we repaired one of the backs free of charge.
Better than the original

I wanted my office chair repaired because the fabric and foam were completely coming apart, although mechanically, the chair was still working fine. When I obtained the quote from Derek, he said that I would find the chair better after the repair than when I first bought it; he was not wrong. The chair looks excellent, and Dee Cee upholstery has done a solid job. I also think that rather than throwing things out and buying new, we ought to mend and revamp as much as possible, to save the earth's resources.

The office chair was of very good quality and certainly needed some T.L.C. We stripped the chair seat down to the base frame. Also the arms were reupholstered. The material chosen was a red faux leather. By having the office chair restored it saves it from going to landfill and leaves our customer sitting comfortably.
